Subject: RL being real - final update
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent their best wishes.
My mother died last night shortly after 11 p.m., exactly one week after her
94th birthday.
My sister Flo and I were with her. For the last hours, we were moved into a
separate room so that we would not be disturbed. The ITC at Toronto General
is very sensitive to the needs of both family and patient; and we much
appreciated it. They had a radio, which we tuned to a classical music
station (for my mother generally had music on at home); and Flo and I simply
sat and talked, sometimes about our mother's life and sometimes other
things, but maintaining a pretty steady chat. Meaning that, as our mother
drifted deeper, the sounds that she heard were those of familiar voices and
background music, as close as possible to having a nap at home.
She died peacefully in her sleep.

Hugs to you and your sister. That was a great thing you did. She went gently
in to that good night. We all should be so lucky.

Greer, you and your family are in my prayers. I know how hard it is to
lose a parent. *hugs*

I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard to lose your mother, I
know.... I'm glad that you and your sister could be with her, giving
her a peaceful and contented send off. We should all be so lucky to
go as quietly as that. My prayers are still with you and Flo as you
go through the grieving process. Love to you both.
Nat
